Biography
Donald Trump was born on 14 June 1946 in Queens, New York City to a family of German-Americans. He was the son of real estate developer Fred Trump, and in 1968 he joined his father's company, Elizabeth Trump & Son. In 1971 he gained control over the company and renamed it "The Trump Organization" and became a major figure in real estate, building Trump Tower in New York City from 1979 to 1983. His real estate business earned him a net worth of $4,500,000,000 by 2015, and he became known as a major celebrity due to his various television shows such as The Apprentice. Trump married model Ivana Zelnickova from 1977 to 1992, Marla Maples from 1993 to 1999, and Melania Knauss in 2005.

Trump was supported by millions of people when he announced that he would run for President of the United States on 16 June 2015, choosing the US Republican Party. Trump was a far-right candidate, known for his derogatory comments against fellow Republicans Rand Paul and Jeb Bush, Democratic candidate Carly Fiorina, celebrities Rosie O'Donnell and Megyn Kelly, and against Mexican-Americans (particularly illegal immigrants) and veterans (against former candidate John McCain). He was the subject of outrage in the media, and his controversial comments ironically worked in his favor, as his personality was followed by several far-right and xenophobic Americans.
